Running Matilda - Photos

Whit Honea — Mon, 25 May 2009 20:40:00 GMT

Run, Matilda, Run. It's not Updike, but it sure is fun.

It seems like every time we see young Matilda she's got a spring in her step, and that is what it's all about. Very Hokey-Pokeyish.

Don't let this last photo fool you, there's still spring there, it's just getting some air.

Granted, it was a low-flying bird, but a kid has to take what he can get.

Matthew Broderick "Nervous" About Twins

Josh loposer — Mon, 11 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Sporting some awesome Elvis-impersonator sideburns, Matthew Broderick stopped by the Late Show to talk with David Letterman about the twins he and SJP are expecting later this summer via a surrogate.

"Yeah, I'm ready. You know, I've asked people, 'What's it like to have twins?' One father said, 'I don't recommend it,'" quips Broderick -- currently starring in The Philanthropist on Broadway. "But the rest have been very positive."

Matthew and Sarah Jessica's 6-year-old son James is apparently looking forward to getting some siblings, and according to Broderick, James already has some recommendations for how to prepare for the twin girls.

"He said, 'We have to get a lot of princess toys.'"

That's probably not a bad start, and like many fathers, it sounds like Matthew's probably going to need some help getting mentally prepared to have twin daughters.

"Oh man, I'm nervous just even thinking about it."

Why do dads always feel more nervous about having daughters? Matthew doesn't really seem like the overprotective type or anything.

Do mothers have more anxiety when they find out they're pregnant with sons rather than daughters?

Liev Says His Boys Are Driving Him Bonkers

Josh loposer — Tue, 05 May 2009 17:30:00 GMT

Liev Schreiber loves his sons, no doubt, but he says the combination of a 4-month-old and a 21-month-old in the house is not exactly a recipe for peace and tranquility.

"There's nothing fun about the age they're at right now. Each one on their own is insanely fun, but the combination of the two of them after hours is just chaos. I don't remember the last time I slept like a human being."

Hopefully, that's just the exhaustion talking. I'm pretty sure there's got to be at least one fun thing about the age they're at now, it's just hard to enjoy it when you're at your breaking point.

Sure, having two young children can push you to the limits of your own sanity, but at least it also helps prepare you for advanced interrogation techniques like sleep depravation. You never know, maybe Liev will get cast as a Jack Bauer-esque hero in a future film, now that he's broken into the action movie genre with his portrayal of Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Liev's had a pretty busy month, with the premiere of the X-Men movie and a scarry trip to the hospital with Sasha. Thankfully, everything seems to be A-okay with 21-month-old.

Madonna And Lourdes Ga-Ga For Lady Gaga?

Josh loposer — Mon, 04 May 2009 19:30:00 GMT

Madonna and her daughter Lourdes, 12, showed up at Lady G's concert in New York this weekend at Terminal 5.

Reportedly, Madonna wasn't just there to humor Lourdes or anything. In fact, it may have been the other way around, as it turns out that Madge is a big fan.

“Madonna loved Gaga’s show,” a source told the New York Daily News. “Especially when Gaga played Future Love on the piano. Lourdes was singing along to every word.” The source adds that Madonna and Lourdes left halfway through the show, “probably because Gaga went on late, around 1 a.m., and Madge is a good mom!”

You can't hardly scan a gossip site these days without running across headlines about either Madonna or Lady Gaga, so how fitting is it that they end up crossing paths in real life? Or course, Madonna is making headlines mostly for her unsuccessful attempts to adopt Mercy James. Sad.

This isn't the first time the pop divas have been discussed in the same sentence either. When compared to the queen of pop in the past, this is what Gaga had to say:

“We’re both Italian-American women, we both started out in the New York underground scene — and we both became famous when we dyed our hair blonde... I think what Madonna and I share is that we’re both fearless, we both have a lot of nerve.”

Sexy Daddy Gets Mobbed At Kid's School?

trix — Sun, 03 May 2009 13:34:00 GMT

Which dreamy movie star likes to pick up his kids from school, but gets mobbed every time he does? He gets so much female attention, the school had to send letters home telling the daughters to leave him in peace.

Yep, you guessed it, it's Brad Pitt.

I understand he's used to it and all that good stuff, but it has to be a little irritating when you are just picking your kids up.

Are you the type to get star struck? I've met and/or spotted a few celebrities, but I've always been the type to say "don't bother them".

Watts And Schreiber's Son Taken To Hospital

Josh loposer — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:30:00 GMT

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber got a pretty huge scare last night when their 21-month-old son Sasha went to the hospital with respiratory problems.

Luckily, everything seems to be okay now, and little Sasha has come home after a night in the hospital. Says Schreiber's rep:

“Sasha got home today and is feeling much better after being hospitalized on Tuesday night with respiratory problems.”

If you happened to be lucky enough to get a ticket to the LA premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, you may have noticed that Liev, who plays Sabretooth in the flick, was nowhere to be found. That's because he immediately flew to New York to be with his family.

That who experience had to be really freaky for Naomi and Liev, I'm glad that little Alexander "Sasha" Pete is going to be alright. I'm sure the family is super relieved.

Naomi Watts And Liev Schreiber Moving To The Land Down Under?

Josh loposer — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:30:00 GMT

It sure isn't New York City, but it sounds like Liev Schreiber is starting to get cozy with the idea of packing it all up and moving the family out to Naomi's native land, Australia.

“I was able to get into a rhythm and I got a feel for the lifestyle and the quality of life there... It’s just unbeatable, plus if you’re raising kids, I can’t imagine a better place.”

If Liev and Naomi are going to move their kids to Australia, now's the time to do it, with sons (Sasha, 21 months, and Samuel, 4 months) still at a very young age.

It shouldn't be terribly difficult to adjust. At least they speak the same language in Australia -- albeit with a wildly different accent -- and maintain a pretty similar culture.

Apparently, the paps are pretty intense in Australia, and Liev isn't going to like that. According to Schreiber, his emotions towards the paparazzi have grown much more intense since the birth of his children.

“I was fine until [21-month-old Alexander] ‘Sasha’ [Pete] came along and then I started to get aggro,” he says with a laugh. “As an actor, I think I’d never kind of reached the heights of fame that Naomi had, and so when she came into my life it was a real test on our relationship.”

“I didn’t like that she was bringing all that attention with her and I think I probably blamed her for it in the beginning. But after a while, I acclimated to it and then, of course, Sasha was born and I had to acclimate to it all over again.”

Spike Jonze And Michelle Williams Wedding Rumors

Josh loposer — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 22:30:00 GMT

What's that I hear? Wedding bells? Wait... rumors about wedding bells? The word on the street is that Matilda Ledger may have a new daddy soon, and I think I'm buying into the rumors.

“They’re in love and absolutely thrilled with each other,” says a source. “They don’t see why they should wait much longer...

“Spike loves being with Matilda. He’s teaching her to skateboard and to ride a bike,” says a source.

“He never makes Michelle feel like taking care of her is a burden, because he truly thinks of them all as a family."

Apparently, all the signs point to Spike Jonze and Michelle Williams (Heath Ledger's ex-fiance') getting hitched -- and soon -- confirming my suspicions based on the fact that Spike's work was taking a very child-oriented direction.

I can't think of any other good reason that Spike would make a gag trailer for a film entitled Everyone Poops, except that he's anticipating fatherhood -- or a bout with incontinence.

Madonna's Ex-Chef: She's A Self-Centered Mother

Josh loposer — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:35:00 GMT

With all the drama surrounding Madonna's attempt to adopt Mercy James, and her upcoming appeal with the Supreme Court of Malawi, it's a pretty disastrous time for a ex-employee to go public with a bunch of accusations that Madge is a bad mommy. Nevertheless, Madonna's former chef Eric Ienco is publicly bashing the diva's parental skillz.

"She gets up and has a coffee, then she does two hours of yoga. Then there's two hours of Pilates and exercise. That's six days a week. After that, she deals with her e-mail, her calls and the rest of her business. And after that, she spends maybe half an hour with the kids. If Lourdes comes in and says, 'I want to see Mom,' she is told, 'She's doing yoga' - and Lourdes knows she can't disturb Mom. Madonna puts herself before her kids. When she adopted little David, he arrived at her home from Africa - and three hours later, she left to do Pilates. Wouldn't you think she'd want to spend the entire day with her new son?"

Are you buying it? Or do you think this guy's full of it? Madonna obviously has a pretty strong emotional attachment to her kids, but of course, she's a pretty busy lady with her horse-wrecks and all (which she ~~lied~~ ahem, isn't telling the whole truth about).

Ienco's description of Madonna's daily routine seems pretty convincing, but of course it needs to if he's going to ride this controversy into his own cooking reality show -- or whatever it is that he's angling for. According to him:

"That's why it's a puzzle she wants to adopt again. She's hardly ever with her children. She's got two full-time nannies and one part-time nanny. So why adopt a kid if somebody else is raising them?"

I know why, to give my high-dollar nannies more work to do. Duh.

Natasha Richardson's Family Fight and Hope

Whit Honea — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:10:00 GMT

Natasha Richardson has been surrounded by family at Lenox Hill hospital in New York City since being severely injured while skiing in Canada.

According to Yahoo: Representatives for Richardson, 45, and her husband actor Liam Neeson repeatedly declined to comment on the severity of her injury, but the New York Times reported the actress was in "a serious condition with head injuries."

Television footage showed Richardson's mother, actress and activist Vanessa Redgrave, sister, television star Joely Richardson, and aunt, actress Lynn Redgrave, arriving at the Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan overnight.

Photos also showed two boys -- identified by local media as Richardson's sons with Neeson, Daniel Jack, 12, and Michael, 13 -- leaving the hospital early on Wednesday. The couple own homes in Manhattan and Millbrook, New York, north of the city.

The 45-year-old actress is still in critical condition and visitors have been paying their respects around-the-clock.

According to Gossip Girls: One Richardson family member told press, “I’m hoping to hear from Liam [Neeson] with good news. I’m really anxious. I feel sick to the pit of my stomach. I just hope she is going to be OK, I really do.

“We’re doing our best to stay up-to-date on what’s happening, but it’s difficult when they know so little themselves,” the family member continued. “We’re a strong family, and Natasha is part of that family. We’re good at putting up a fight.”

Our continued thoughts to Natasha and her family.

Debi Mazar and the Big Red Dog

Whit Honea — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 23:32:00 GMT

Debi Mazar of HBO's "Entrouage" and tons of movies were on hand to promote Scholastic Media's National BE Big! campaign aat FAO Schwarz in NYC.

It seems that Clifford has some big ideas on sharing, helping, responsibility, honesty and other attributes I generally like in a person.

Debi has two daughters, Evelyn (7) and Giulia (3 next week) and, I'm guessing here, an excellent collection of Clifford books. No word on whether or not the girls were in the audience.

10% of the event proceeds went to the BE BIG Fund at HandsOn Network.

Kate Winslet: My Daughter Hated My Oscar Gown

Sassy Smith — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Actress Kate Winslet won an Oscar for Best Actress last Sunday and while some may have thought her choice of dress was lovely, there was one person who was "mortified" about her gray dress... her 8-year-old daughter, Mia!

Winslet called her children - Mia, and son Joe Alfie, 5 - backstage, after her win. Mia couldn't believe her mother's gray Yves St. Laurent evening gown.

Kate, told Oprah on Monday's show, "I said, 'Hi, Mia, did you jump up and down?' "[Mia] says: 'Yes, I did, Mum, I did. I need to talk to you about the dress, it was gray.' She was absolutely mortified I wore a gray dress."

The 33-year-old told Oprah she didn't want a lot of dresses being sent to her, especially in these tough economic times.

"I think in this time in the economy, it's just not nice to have people make lots of dresses and you just wear one out of a possible five. So Yves St. Laurent very kindly said, 'We'd like to make something for you,' and that was what we did."

Kate also talked about not doing any more nude scenes because of her children.

"I have done quite a lot of nudity, and I feel like my kids they're 8 and 5 now, maybe they're going to start to become aware of the amount of nudity I've done. I just sort of feel like I can't get away with it that much longer."

Another reason I love her - she's so real and seems like such a great mom! (And ya, she's a wonderful actress too!)
